12th-grade High School student Damion Dean is a bi-racial student at West Salem High School.
A military brat and son to an African American Mother and a Caucasian-American Father who
are members of police education and a veteran bar owner respectively; He studies in school
besides his two siblings, one Jasmine Dean and one Dominic Dean who have so far assisted in
raising the average GPA of the school not only through their own education but with the assistance of
education of others. Throughout Damion’s education at West Salem HS, he has found a love for
world history including that of Europe, Eurasia, Asia, Africa, and Polynesia of which he expands
his knowledge every day through the intellectual engagement of teachers such as West Salem
HS teacher Jason Whitely. Though the engagement of such teacher Damion will in the near
future be able to attend nearby Colleges and Universities which he would never be able to
without the help from those teachers.
